He said calmly with a poker face. It seemed that this matter was not worth mentioning. It was just a gentleman's action.

The sparks in Vera's eyes were subsided by his actions and words in the next second.

Alas, she thought that... Quill had picked up a drumstick for her as a gesture of affection.

She didn't expect that it was just a gentleman's act.

She felt a little sullen as she was overthinking things.

However, the fact that he was willing to give her a drumstick meant that she was not an uninvited guest. All the negative thoughts in her mind suddenly disappeared.

Vera held the drumstick and was so moved that tears almost welled up. "Oh, Quill isn't so indifferent. At least... He is a gentleman."

As long as she continued to work harder, she could get closer and closer to him.

"Why are you staring at me? Eat up!"

Quill saw that Minerva and Beanie were still looking at him, and only Vera was eating the drumstick joyously. He flicked their heads with his spoon and scolded them in a low voice. Minerva came to her senses and lowered her head to dig in.

After taking a small bite, a faint smile appeared on her face as she saw Vera, who looked blissful.

Was there... something that was secretly changing?

It seemed that Quill was the only one who would know.

Because of this small interruption, the atmosphere of the meal was somewhat subtle. However, everyone had different thoughts in their minds. Everyone was eating in silence.

Just as Quill was about to say something to Minerva, his phone started to ring. He lowered his head to look at the caller ID before turning to look at her.

She looked at him in confusion.

Quill was silent for a moment before he said in a low voice, "Minerva, wait for me in the study."

Then, he got up to answer the phone and went out.
